The strategy was released today by the Queensland Premier Campbell Newman in Brisbane.
Managing Director & CEO of Aurizon, Lance Hockridge said Aurizon was well-positioned to support the opening up of the Galilee Basin.
“Aurizon has been developing an integrated rail transport and port solution for Galilee Basin coal over the past two years and has been working closely with a range of parties,” he said.
“Our work is advancing both from an engineering and a commercial perspective, and is closely aligned with the Government strategy - getting early tonnes out of the Galilee, at lower cost by tapping into existing infrastructure and consolidating tonnages onto a single corridor.
“Aurizon’s ultimate aim is to bring our commercial strength and operational knowledge to the equation with an open access, consolidated infrastructure solution for the Galilee.”
Aurizon’s work with GVK Hancock on an integrated rail-port project has continued since the proposal was announced in March 2013.
